‘Jephthah … was a mighty man … but he was the son of a harlot.’ 

Judges 11:1 NKJV 

Genes are powerful things! They can determine a child’s hair colour, eye colour,and the proclivities that make them like their father or mother. But when a child

grows up and constantly makes bad choices it may not be genetic; it may be that

the enemy has targeted them because he’s discerned their destiny. That’s when

God steps in. Moses’ mother placed him in a basket and hid him in the Nile

River. But God arranged for Pharaoh’s own daughter to find him, take him to the

palace, and raise him as a leader in Egypt. As a parent, when you do your part

God will do His. When you do all you can for your child, God will intervene and

do what you cannot do. Paul writes, ‘We know that God causes everything to

work together for the good of those who love God and are called according to his

purpose for them’ (Romans 8:28 NLT). God has a ‘purpose’ for your problem

child, so keep loving them and praying for them however long it takes. The Bible

says, ‘Jephthah … was a mighty man of valor, but he was the son of a harlot.’

Your child may have been born in less than ideal circumstances, but that won’t

stop God from blessing them. On the contrary, He can use every circumstance in

their past to fuel their future with wisdom and strengthen them to fulfil the thing

to which He’s called them. So don’t give up on your child of promise. Pray, ‘Lord,
